Baldur's GateFor posts concerning the first part of the Baldur's Gate saga and the Tales of the Sword Coast expansion.NOTE: If you have installed the BG1Tutu or BG Trilogy mods, or intend to play with them installed, you should be posting in our ToB forum!

Over my last few runs I realized I'd been creating the same parties over and over so to break the loop I wanted to hear how everyone built their BG1 parties. I'm especially interested in tactical parties and just plain weirdly-themed ones. If you have an idea for a party you haven't tried feel free to post just as long as you (explicitly) state that you haven't tested it yet.

Flavor of the moment
Example: (Me, the crazy guy and the little people)
Human Druid PC - Me
Xzar - the crazy guy
Alora- eeny
Montaron - meeny
Quayle - miny
Tiax - moe
-Besides teaching a valuable lesson on how a druid, a fighter-thief and a mage could could do so well early game, lots of interesting interaction once the party reaches Baldur's Gate.

My most theme-related party got it's inspiration from the UN, and countries cooperating together. It's called the United Races party. Basic rule: create a party of 6 representing all possible BG1-races (actually, I run the Tutu engine, I don't now if a half-orc barbarian is possible in vanilla). I came up with:

Edit: tactically speaking, I always created balanced parties, so most will have at least 1-and-1/2 warrior, 1 divine caster, 1/2 thief and 1-and-1/2 mage as a minimum (1/2 classes meaning half of a multi- or dualclass of course).
